Based on Bram Stoker's classic 1897 novel, this film from Francis Ford Coppola and screenwriter James Victor Hart offers a full-blooded portrait of the immortal Transylvanian vampire. The major departure from Stoker is one of motivation as Count Dracula (Gary Oldman) is motivated more by romance than by bloodlust. He punctures the necks as a means of avenging the death of his wife in the 15th century, and when he comes to London, it is specifically to meet heroine Mina Harker (Winona Ryder), the living image of his late wife (Ryder plays a dual role, as do several of her costars). Anthony Hopkins is obsessed vampire hunter Van Helsing, while Keanu Reeves takes on the role of Jonathan Harker, and Tom Waits plays bug-eating Renfield. Bram Stoker's Dracula was the winner of three Academy Awards. Hal Erickson, Rovi

The 1992 version of Bram Stoker's Dracula is one of numerous adaptations of this popular topic in both literature and film. Director Francis Ford Coppola has skillfully used light, shadow, color, music, and other cinematic techniques in this well-made film. The casting is very strong, too: Winona Ryder is a perfect fit for Mina Harker; Keanu Reeves makes a convincing Jonathan Harker; I also like Anthony Hopkins as Abraham Van Helsing; finally, Gary Oldman does a good job of portraying Dracula. The costumes are also very well done. I made it a point to read the book first before I saw the movie on DVD (I saw it in the theaters way back in 1992 but forgot the details). I will say that I like the book better (which is usually the case for me) but I did enjoy this movie and found it to be mostly faithful to the book; the relationship between Mina and Dracula is one of the major differences between the book and the movie. My one objection to the film is its sensuality; I do not think it is in keeping with Bram Stoker's novel. Still, Bram Stoker's Dracula is an excellent film adaptation of the best book in Gothic literature.
